The LG G6 officially launched in South Africa today, 4th April 2017, at an event at the Fire & Ice Hotel in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg. After winning numerous awards at this year’s MWC in Barcelona, the new LG flagship has finally landed on our shores.

LG Officially Launches the LG G6 in South Africa

With a slew of smartphones having already been touted at this year’s MWC, Q2 is definitely an exciting time. What was really apparent with today’s launch is how much effort and emphasis was placed on research and study when producing the LG G6 – from the device’s width, screen size and ratio, to whether the display to should be rounded or flat. In addition, these tests and surveys were conducted with your average guy on the street, you and me. The research has no doubt been carried forth into the design of the G6, both aesthetically and functionally, making it a great contender for one of the best smartphones for 2017.

With all the beautifully crafted designs and functionality built into the G6, it’s difficult to forget that it has the specs to back it up too. Some of the LG G6’s features include a new display format, with a 5.7” QHD+ (2880x1440px resolution) Full Vision display and, for the first time ever in a smartphone, an 18:9 screen aspect ratio. This offers more viewing space and a more immersive experience when streaming videos and playing games. The LG G6 is the first smartphone to feature Dolby Vision technology as well as supporting HDR 10, which allows for a wider range of colour and luminosity. With dual 13MP rear cameras, including a 125-degree lens on the wide angle, the G6 captures remarkable panoramic shots, unlike any other smartphone. Qualcomm also revealed some of the behind the scenes efforts and nuances to their new Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 processor, which powers the G6. The unit was designed to facilitate the dual-camera and HDR capabilities, as well as the new display, and Wi-Fi and VoLTE connectivity.
